Cow Auction

I attend a fantastic event this past Sunday (March 11) at St Peter's Lutheran Church in Mishawaka, Indiana. The Children of the Sunday School had been working for months constructing paper mache cows to raise money to purchase REAL cows for Heifer Intenrnational. Sunday was the culmination of the project and after Church they set up a display of all their cows and auctioned them off through a silent auction during lunch. Each child watched excitedly as his/her cow received bids and when it was all over they had collected enough to buy 4 Heifers! There was such great enthusiasm on the part of children and adults and I'm sure the kids will remember this project for years to come. Thanks to the kids and the adults of St Peter's for this very unique fund-raising event!
